I agree with Henry. As one who has worked closely with a gorilla (Koko, who spoke sign language), I am always surprised when the news media goes on and on about how an ape can be so gentle (etc.). The only time Koko bit anyone was when a cameraman was teasing her (and I would have bitten him myself in the same situation).
